Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago
Threads Software Limited says its lawyers have informed Meta that it will seek an injunction from the courts if the Facebook parent keeps using the name Threads...

"It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain 'threads.app' from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined. Meta announced Threads in July 2023, the same time that the British company says it was removed from Facebook."
Another reason to find Zuck & Company disgusting. Apparently "no" doesn't mean "no" -- will keep this in mind, next time I am downtown and come across any of their team...

The bit about "no" not meaning "no" means they're specifically implying meta employees can be sexually assaulted even if they say no. I'm sure it's said in jest, but it's still a fairly offensive comment.
That is NOT what I said and NOT what I meant. The Mod removed this comment due to everyone saying I was somehow threatening everyone. They did not publish my response to the message they sent me, so this needs to be cleared up.
What I am saying is that clearly these people do not take NO for an answer, even when it's clear NO means NO. They ignored it and did what they wanted anyway. I said I would keep this behaviour in mind whenever I am downtown because I live in SF and go by their headquarters literally every day and have already see a lot of their people, and in fact some awful behaviour from some that work there. Interacting with them is something a **WANT TO AVOID. ** I was not implying in ANY WAY that I intended to harm or threaten them.
It reads to me like they're saying that they feel like they might be attacked by Meta employees.
That said, it's uh... quite a choice to have made to say that.
Oh, interesting. I also initially read it as a thinly-veiled threat but I think you're right it was more of a "will i be assaulted". Still a weird thing to say.
Hi @Leafeytea - I've removed this comment because a lot of folks are reading it as threatening toward Meta employees. I don't want to assume that's your intention, though. If you'd like, shoot me a DM or reply here and I will restore the comment if you would like to edit it to clarify what you meant.
What?? How are you getting that I am threatening people?? I was clearly saying that META people do not seem to take no for an answer even when NO is meant. I said I would keep this in mind the next time I am downtown and come across anyone from their staff. I live in San Francisco and pass by both Twitter and Google for that matter on a daily basis so I see people that work there all the time, at coffee shops in the morning, at lunch etc. As in TO AVOID THEM. Good grief.
